Codenames Frenzy! 

Meet the Teams

A few short months ago, during our latest issue, we teased and promoted the return of the infamous myHogwarts Codenames Tournament, which would be taking place for the third time in the history of the site. Now that the Tournament has reached its end, we are back with more news regarding crazy team dynamics, questionable clues and word associations as well as hilarious mishaps that have made this third official Codenames Tournament simply memorable. But before we jump in, let's meet our teams, shall we? 😉

Six teams in total, five teams of three and one team of two, were created for the sake of this Tournament so let's start this countdown with our current finalists, Reilowtl and Omoomow! Reilowtl, who has rightfully earned the title of the Most Misspelt Team Name in the Tournament, consists of Reiluna, Slytherin graduate and current BBA (Blue Basic Admin), Axolotl (or Lottie), current Ravenclaw student, and Willow Maid, Ravenclaw graduate. With their combined Ravenclaw genius and Slytherin resourcefulness, this purple-tinted team has reigned victorious for the longest time. But will they manage to claim the coveted Codenames Cup at the end?

The second team, Omoomow, which has also received plenty of creative nicknames involving laughing cows, consists of Nooms, former Hufflepuff Head of House and current PA (Purple Admin), Omer, current Ravenclaw Head Student, and Willow, Ravenclaw graduate and current Gryffinclaw Head of House. Reigning supreme with their imaginative clues and Scottish/British-inspired vocabulary, this golden team fought hard to earn their place in the finals. But will this be enough to crown them our newest Codenames Champions?

Moving further down the line, we have the confirmed third-place winners, Madstar Walles! A team of contradictions and time zone variety, it consists of Maddy Rose, Hufflepuff student, starlight (or Kyla), Ravenclaw graduate and current Ravenclaw Postfect, and Reyna Walles, current Ravenclaw student. This violet-tinted team had quite the ride throughout the rounds, accumulating victories as they went and proving that cultural variety can be a blessing if you know how to use it right.

 Following them in fourth place, we have the only duo in this Tournament, AshftAlyssa27! A team that managed to fight off giants and prove that camaraderie can go a long way, it consists of Alyssa Pan, Gryffindor graduate and current Gryffinclaw Quidditch Captain, and Ashftslipknot14 (or Morgan), Slytherin graduate. Rocking the brown muddy maroon, this inseparable duo took us by storm with clues that raised many eyebrows and gained many rounds of applause when they helped them emerge victorious during the final moments of several rounds.

Coming in number five, we have a team with many supporters, Jespelodel! This team of three consists of Jess the First, esteemed Founder and former Headmistress, pelagia, current Slytherin Head Student, and Asphodel, Hufflepuff graduate and current Induction Coordinator. Known for their rapid-fire clues and effectiveness, this North American team of sky blue proved that Horned Serpent overthinking, Thunderbird intuition and Wampus decisiveness can create an explosive combination and lead to victory.

And last but not least, ranking in sixth place, we have melennia! A team of newcomers and seasoned players alike, it consists of Jenna Rae, Gryffindor graduate, Kitliana, current Hufflepuff student, and mel, current Slytherin Prefect. Bringing their bright pink colour and a new perspective to the game, this team greeted us with never-before-seen clues and playful banter that accompanied them throughout the entire Tournament.

Meet the Neutrals

The Tournament started with a call to arms by our dear Headmistress Memrah (or Christiana or C, take your pick, really!), who came forth requesting eager volunteers to take up the daunting role of the Codenames Neutral. After some enthusiastic rearrangements, a formidable team of neutrals was formed and the Tournament was ready to begin! We started with the Round Robins, where each team was called to play a match with each of the five others so an initial ranking could be formed for the Bracket Rounds. A total of fifteen matches were played, all marked by their own shenanigans and humorous instances until a fully-fledged double-elimination (meaning that a team had to lose twice to be eliminated from the Tournament) Bracket was formed. The battles between the teams as they moved across the Winner's and Loser's Bracket were fierce and the results were often both comical and tragic as we saw some of our favourite teams be eliminated and some others reign supreme through it all. The neutrals, armed with The Speech™ (created by yours truly~) and a variety of weapons, including the whimsical Cuckoo Timer, braved through the matches one by one until now, almost a full mH year and ten matches later, only the Grand Finale remains...

But who are those neutrals that valiantly oversaw match after match throughout this Tournament? Let's take some time to meet them all and pay some proper respect to their efforts, shall we? 😉 Starting off, we have Memrah, the Headmistress-in-charge and proud Slytherin graduate, followed by Jess the First, the already introduced revered Founder and former Headmistress. Coming up next, we have Ichigo Mirai (or Chel), current [s]Subway[/s] Slytherpuff Head of House and Hufflepuff graduate, and TheSmartpool (or Smart), current Admin Discord Guru and Ravenclaw graduate. Moving on, we have two already known members: Nooms, the infamous PA and former Hufflepuff Head of House, and Reiluna, the appropriately-named BBA and Slytherin graduate.

Moving a little further down, we have two new additions, Las13Rosas (or Carmen), Slytherin graduate, and Isabella (or Izzy aka yours truly~), Ravenclaw graduate. Rounding up the progression, we have a fan favourite team from a previous Tournament, serving as the potential backups... Who am I talking about? Well, Disagon, of course! Dragon, Slytherin graduate, and Disa, former Gryffindor Head of House and Hufflepuff graduate, [s]unwillingly[/s] happily agreed to offer their assistance if the circumstances called for it. 😉
